Gatineau tramway cost grows again to estimated $8B

The route is now valued at $8 billion, almost double the previous estimate of $3.5 billion to $4.5 billion.
Mobility infra Québec estimates the updated costs of the Gatineau tram at $8 billion and warns that a financial contribution from the City of Gatineau will be required.
